"...civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals."
The Belgian city of Ghent is about to become the first in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week.
Starting this week there will be a regular weekly meatless day, in which civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals.
This only serves to reinforce the deep seated prejudices that I hold against the Continent in general & the Belgium in particular

"Will opt".
That's a clearly independently arrived at choice. Obviously.

Belgium, the country invented to allow Germany and Great Britain somewhere to fight over who has France, A nod to JC for that one. Belgium, beer, chocolate and Paedophilia!

Didn't one of those recent Pope-guys give the all-clear for RC's to eat meat on Fridays? This religious shit is confusing.

Our Congress has opted for organic food and union food service staff. Prices rose, but the staffers were unwilling to pay for it. Now the Congressmen are considering some form of taxpayer subsidy.
I miss Freedom Fries.
